Sheeting rain this morning all the way. I brought my bike into the foyer today as it is supposed to rain all day. I packed for rain, so except for a spot
here or there, it worked. My riding clothes are dripping all over the place in the office. My shoes won't dry out in time, but if it is still raining, it won't
matter. One bad driver this morning pulled out right in front of me from a side street. I am always prepared, as I trust none of them. Drivers just don't expect bikes in heavy rain, although I was all lit up, just like every day.

I kept thinking how nice the ride in the rain would have been, if I was not going to work. It would have been nice just to keep riding and find a dry cove somewhere in a wooded area, eat lunch, make a cup of tea, and head back at a leisurely pace before dark.
